trmoore54 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I personally love Colletta on Kirby's Thor and I would LOVE to have that Olympus splash....even though there is no Thor. The JIM 118 cover art would probaby break 75K at least....and if memory serves....I believe it has a Giacoia ink job. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u You are correct suh!

jimjum12 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I got my bid in.....unfortunately, it's not the 3K level it will probably take to win the book. My funds are tight right now, but I can't decide whether I should figure out some way to get at least one Twin Cities book.

MCJ Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 A lot of attention is focused on #118. The Suscha News 9.4 went for $1400 last month. By throwing out the $3000 figure you might have scared away a few bidders just now (I admire your technique)! I'm staying away from that lot. I think the Twin Cities copy of #86 9.6 w/white PQ is gorgeous. I put in my tracking bid and saw it demolished in fairly short order. I'm fond of that copy of #84, too, but I know I can't compete for most of these. Some of the lower graded copies, maybe. Spectator this year, bidder in 2012, methinks. I'm still a bit surprised at how tepid most of the bidding is at this point. Ultimately a lot of the action should come when the lots go live on the auction floor...I remember watching online the TEC 27 ($1.075 million) and the Marvel Comics #1 "Pay Copy" lots zoom up in price in a matter of minutes... I have set my sights on only one Heritage lot at this point, and I doubt the odds are in my favor, but an almost identical copy is coming up on Clink in May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjum12 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 We won't see what we're competing with until floor time on these....I bid on about a dozen, but nothing that will stick. I may end up giving a real effort on one, just don't know which one. Probably an FF if I do.

MCJ Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I've already capitulated, with nearly 2 weeks yet to go. I placed tracking bids on about ten lots, placed larger bids on the ones I coveted the most, but none of them aggressive enough to carry the day. I have a slim hope for one lot, but so do a half dozen other people. Sigh. Meanwhile over at Clink, I'm still in the lead on what I've become convinced is the ugliest comic in the auction (for it's grade level). "Buy the book, not the label" is sage advice.

It's a shame it's in a slab....as a hopeless fanboy, I would want to be able to scope out the awesome splash page in that one.....I love this story.

rodan57 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 This is a nice small run that you have there. I especially like the #85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCJ Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I appreciate the #85, of course, but the 118 & 119, too. What was the consensus on the PGM thread for the #85, 7.0 to 7.5? The production creases decrease the eye appeal, but that's better than having grease pencil or pen marks/date stamps, imo. (I wonder if pressing the book could help with the fc/bc stains? I'm going to guess not much). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
